From the Bavarian capital of Munich, one of the most forward-thinking labels for avant-garde, contemporary jazz has been steadily growing its reputation over the last few years—since 2019, to be exact, when musician/producer Martin Brugger and designer/art director Maximilian Schachtner founded Squama. The two friends originally met in Munich’s electronic music scene, and the label grew out of a community radio show they co-hosted. Designed as an independent outlet for Brugger’s boundary-pushing jazz band Fazer and the various projects of its members Squama’s roster gradually expanded.
